From the guard position, the fighter will pull his opponent forward and try to execute a choke hold. With his own leg crossed over his body (as though he was lying cross-legged) and hooked under the chin of his opponent, the fighter will simply pull his opponent’s head down until his throat is against the shin. From there, he’ll continue to pull until his opponent begins losing oxygen and is forced to tap out. This move would be higher on our list if it were more common. However, perhaps because it requires impressive flexibility, it’s not often performed by MMA fighters, especially those in higher weight classes.
